Henry was born in September 1068 CE in Selby, Yorkshire, his father being William, Duke of Normandy, otherwise known as William the Conqueror or William I of England following his invasion of that country in 1066 CE. Henry's mother was Matilda of Flanders (c. 1032-1083 CE), who was the daughter of the Count of Flanders and the niece of Henry I of F...

Henry's reign saw the creation of the Exchequer, essentially then a debt-collecting...

The couple had no children together. Henry died on 1 December 1135 CE at Saint Denis-le-Fermont in Rouen, Normandy. Legend has it that the king died from overeating lampr...
